BlenderBottle 2-in-1 Shaker Bottle and Straw Cleaning Brush, 1 Pack

Watch out for the straw brush I’ve had this combo brush for about a year. It’s a fantastic concept and super convenient; the bottle brush has stayed round and springy all this time. The straw brush has also kept its bristles in good condition… but the most recent time I tried to use it, its wire stem broke at/inside the base. I was able to shake it out of the tube of the bottle brush handle, but I can’t reattach it to the little screw-on cap because there still seems to be a wire stub filling the hole where it should go. Either that, or I can’t apply enough force to screw it back in.I may have subjected the straw brush to unfair stress by gently bending the end to clean inside a ridged straw, then not fully straightening it before putting it back into the bottle brush, which made it more difficult to remove the next time. But that was months ago, I finished straightening the tip afterward and had no further issues getting it in/out, until one day I unscrewed the tip to pull out the straw brush but it wasn’t connected anymore.I’ll probably buy another one. The bottle brush part is still a perfectly good bottle brush, and the straw brush is still usable too but doesn’t have the original convenience factor anymore.tl;dr it was perfect until I broke it?
